Thousands of people in Sapphaya district of Thailand’s Chai Nat province have been taking temporary refuge on the roadside, after their houses became submerged, following an increase in the volume of water being discharged through the Chao Phraya Dam in the province.

 

Irrigation officials have increased the volume of water being released from the reservoir behind the dam to 2,739m3/sec, to ease pressure on the dam itself, as increased runoff from the north continues to flow in, at an estimated rate of 3,054m3/sec.

 

The worst affected district is Sapphaya, where about 2,000 households are under as much as 1.7 metres of water, forcing people to evacuate and take temporary shelter on roads.
